SEE IT: Mysterious man wearing TV on head drops vintage TVs off on Virginia front porches

A mysterious man wearing a TV on his head dropped off more than 50 vintage televisions on front porches in a Virginia neighborhood over the weekend.

Several of the deliveries were caught by doorbell cameras in the Hampshire neighborhood in Henrico County, Va., early Sunday morning.

Michael Kroll discovered a TV on his doorstep when he let his dogs outside. He initially thought his son brought it home, but now thinks it might have been “bored” college students.

“They had way too much time on their hands if they had all these TVs and spread them all over the neighborhood,” Kroll told local CBS affiliate WTVR. “I think it’s funny in some ways . . . Now if my whole front yard was covered with TVs, I’d kind of get upset.”

“It’s sort of funny . . . He wants to be known as the TV Santa Claus, I don’t know,” Brooksbank said. “I can’t think of any technology or political point that would be valid here. It’s just a senseless prank.”

Henrico Police and the county’s Solid Waste Divisions removed the TVs to spare residents from a trip to the local dump. Cops said the only potential crime would be illegal dumping, but it looks to be a mostly harmless prank.

It turns out same thing happened in the nearby Glen Allen neighborhood last August. At least 20 TVs were left in the neighborhood at the time.

Will the “TV man” plague another Virginia neighborhood with outdated TVs in 2020? Tune next August to find out.
